Sounds like it was a scarey time, in that previous robbery...its always bad enough to lose your possessions, but if the robbers are there, while you are in the house, goodness only knows what might have happened...some robbers will just run, but some robbers have no compunction about harming or even killing those, who may witness them in their crime....scarey stuff...

[grannie9]

Oh.. I don't think we'll ever see it again.. They will just sell it for drugs or booze. The police were nice, young and good looking.. so that's something.. lol

Neets, eat your heart out.. ;)

[andysandmikesmom]

Grannie, you are so funny...lost your stuff, but got to see some nice young good looking fellas...well, I guess thats better than having the police be old, fat, and ugly...

[grannie9]

You betcha..although I'm not against the cute older ones either.. A nice man is a man is a man.. Yanowhatimean? ;)

[grannie9]

Well.. I think I'd better go upstairs and check to see how hot it is. My back hurts from leaning over the sewing table. Not used to it lately.. I wonder what you could do to use all your muscles all the time? Hmmmm...

Would breaking a chair help? ;) Leading scientist would love to know.. and nosy old ladies too..

[andysandmikesmom]

Well, yes, of course you are right...there are some cute nice old men, as well...some of us are married to those cute nice older men, and they do know how to please...

[andysandmikesmom]

Grannie you are a riot...indeed, chair breaking is a valuable way to exercise...

Happy sewing...

[grannie9]

Mmmmmm... ayah..

[habs4ever]

Sluts...and you too, palo, for good measure ;-)

[andysandmikesmom]

And we are all proud of that...

[grannie9]

Very proud..as we didn't get this way overnight. It takes years and years of work, and tons and tons of practice, but when you get there..... wow, there's nothing like it...

I quit sewing.. The metal swing lamp over my sewing machine was throwing so much heat, that when I had a problem refilling a bobbin, I lost it. The bobbin too. I had to crawl under two desks to reel it back in.

I have one curtain done.. That's the hard part, the other two will go fast because all the measuring is done. Now I have to find the big wooden rods.. I hope Al remembered where we put them..

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL and ROFLMAO.. riiiiiiiight..

Good luck with this one Gran. When I think about the way our country used to be back in the day when I was a youngster, and then look at what's going on today - it makes be both very sad and very angry.

I fear that the GreatSociety may one day implode. Way to go Lyndon, this may turn out to be your legacy, not VietNam after all.

My two cents.

[andysandmikesmom]

Well, time to start things going for dinner...soon its time to wake up BigDom and get him started on his day...I always have lots of rushing around this time of day...need to make coffee, serve up OJ, and yogurt....serve Dinner, pack lunch, wash dishes....some routine every day...

I look forward to our retirement days, a few years off...doing what we want, when we want, no schedule intruding on our daily lives...

Guess I should stop complaining and get back to my present schedule...but when I get bored with it, or really do detest it, I like to dream about being unfettered in the future...its a pleasant dream to have...

See ya all later...

Back to school greeting

[acnielsen guy]

AC/e reporter in Sada on the job again. "Boat tears down power cables on main road." The cables were only temporary and should have been torn down over a year ago. They are measuring the height of the pulpit in the prow that was ripped off.


The boat that broke the power cables

[andysandmikesmom]

A drole 'back to school' welcome....

[andysandmikesmom]

And a drole pic, as well, of a boat that knocked down the power cables...

Well, we seem to have been in a lull for a few days now, and its slow going right now, so of course, I shall burst forth in a story...Hence begins my saga of my experiences of Greyhound Bus Riding...

I had never been on a Greyhound Bus until the summer that my dad got diagnosed with cancer...My mom and dad had come up to Washington State for a visit, and to get Andy, and take him with them, for a few weeks vacation down in California....they spent a few days with us, and then off they went, Dad, Mom, and Andy...a week later, I got a phone call, telling me Dad was very ill, ,and in the hospital, cancer was suspected, and BigDom and I needed to get down there ASAP, which we did...

We all spent a few days down there..not all the tests were in, but having had gone through a cancer experience with Michael, I told Dads doc, I wanted no BSing around, just tell me up front, what you think, even tho the tests are not firmly confirming your suspicions...he just looked at me, and agreed, it was cancer...so we spent a little more time with dad, and then headed home for Washington, not wanting to leave Andy down there, to again, have to watch someone deal with cancer as he had when he watched Michaels struggle....

BigDom and Andy would stay at our home in Washington, and I planned to go down and live in California to care for dad...mom was already in mid-stage Alzheimers, so even if she wanted to, she could not care for dad...so I packed my bags, kissed the men goodbye, left the freezer and fridge full of lots of homecooked meals that I had prepared ahead of time, and now face taking care of mom and dad...

Now Mom and Dad lived in Redwood Valley, California, which is a few hours north of San Francisco, on Rte 101...no close airports(tho I hate to fly, so probably would not have flown even if there was nearby hospital), and so since there was a Greyhound Bus station here in Olympia, Washington, and also a Greyhound Bus Station in Ukiah(just 7 miles from Redwood Valley), I decided to travel down to Mom and Dads via Greyhound Bus...and thus began my days of being the 'bus lady' as Aunt Helen, and BigDom and Andy came to refer to me....

I had no idea what to expect riding the Greyhound Bus...just knew, that I could leave Olympia at about 4pm and get to Portland Oregon at about 6pm...wait an hour or so, at their station, and then catch another bus for Ukiah, and be down there by noon...so it seemed like a quick overnite journey...

I had decided not to drive this distance, as both of our cars at the time, were older cars, and having to get to Redwood Valley would involve mountain and freeway driving, and I was not exactly really to tackle that with an older car...

So Greyhound was there to fulfill my needs, and it was quite an adventure...

More to follow as time and lulls permit...

I am enjoying the story
